Edexcel GCSE Business ‘Quizlets’

Ian Pryer

3rd May 2013

Both I and my student have been hard at work today creating some 'Quizlets' for the various sections of Edexcel GCSE Business Studies.

If you haven't encountered Quizlet before, it's a website that allows you to create sets of terms/definitions and questions/answers and then students can play games against the clock to see how quickly they can, for example, match jumbled pairs. Times are recorded on a leaderboard so it can become quite competitive. Ideal for revision activities, and Quizlet have an App so students can even play the games on their devices.

There are 9 of the sections of Edexcel GCSE Business covered in the link below, with just The Wider World missing at the moment. Admittedly some do not cover all the key terms, but we'll work on that next week and get them all completed. And of course, whilst this is great for knowledge of key terms students will still need to develop their understanding of advantages and drawbacks of various business concepts though I will also be asking my students to develop additional entries in each set that cover this as I have in the one I created (Marketing).

Nevertheless, a useful and fun revision activity that colleagues and their students may find useful.
